MORE ENERGY = MORE BEAUTY
EAT ALKALINE FIRST
At each meal, no matter what the whole meal will entail, we always begin by putting an alkaline food first in the bodyâeither ripe fruit, raw vegetables or salad. This includes breakfast. Besides ensuring that we consistently load up on raw plant enzymes, practicing this rule will ensure that we get alkaline, water-containing foods in the body at every meal and increase the overall percentage of these foods in our diet.
Do you notice something that these alkaline foods have in common? They contain a great deal of fiber. Fiber acts as a cushion to help slow down glucose absorption in the bloodstream and prevents our blood sugar levels from becoming elevated and erratic. Fiberalso fills us up and helps diminish our physiological cravings. It is absolutely critical to use this natural way to control portion size. When we fill up first with fresh, natural foods, we can eat in abundance and never feel deprived, since these foods have so much filling fiber and contain so many nutrients.

What is Fiber?
The Food and Nutrition Board defines dietary fiber as ânondigestible carbohydrates and lignin that are intrinsic and intact in plants.â 1 Dietary fiber is found only in plant foods and is present in large amounts in fruits, grains, legumes and vegetables. Fiber passes all the way through the small intestine undigested and forms the bulk of our stool. It helps stabilize the bodyâs blood sugar levels, which may help control diabetes. Dietary fiber removes excess cholesterol and hormones, and binds to and deactivates cancer-causing substances. 2
By working to push toxicity and sludge out of the body on a continual basis, it helps keep the excessive breeding of bad bacteria in check, so our levels of good bacteria stay in the right balance. Fiber also helps us feel full, providing a natural way to fill up on our beautifying plant foods without worrying about restricting or counting calories.

Fiber also helps keep our digestive tract functioning optimally and keeps us regular, which is critical for our ongoing cleansing efforts. It helps to consistently remove toxins from the body. A report published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute suggested that if oneâs daily fiber intake was increased by thirteen grams, the risk of colon cancer would decrease by 31 percent. 3 The solution is not to add an isolated fiber supplement, like Metamucil, here and there to a diet filled with foods sorely lacking in crucial dietary fiber. Americans spend $725 million a year on laxatives alone. 4 Something is clearly wrong! Instead, we need to focus on increasing our percentage of high-fiber foods! The average American gets only about eight to fourteen grams of fiber a day in his or her diet. On plant-based diets like the Beauty Detox Solution you will get
